I appreciate the way you type in some names with the pictures. It makes a big difference. Thanks

Thank you for the great photos Cathérine Bergeyck. The picture of a laughing Queen Sofia is wonderful. I also remember from Hello or Hola magazine there being a wonderful picture of Queen Margrethe's arrival. She was climbing the stairs (as seen in the photo you posted) but she turned around to wave to the crowd and the wonderful shade of purple Queen Margrethe was wearing against the bright red stairs was absolutely spectacular. Anyone have this photo they might be able to share?

I like the dress and the collar, but wasn't the train just a bit much?
